(“Something oval. Egg-shaped as a thin oval line just inside of a rectangular card.” The object is rectangular and is a card. There is no oval shape just within its borders however, either literal or implied, although there are several oval shapes within the picture on the card, as well as the circular postmark on the back. Later note by RFB: Mother Goose on card carries a basket (of eggs?). There is a goose beside her—reminds me of goose eggs.
(“And some blue. With a figure.” We believe this data goes together. As stated the stamp on the object is gray blue, and bears a figure 5. It seems however that this data probably refers to the figure of Mother Goose, shown on the object, and to the statue standing upon a base that is painted blue. In addition Mother Goose wears blue shoes. There is blue in her costume as well as red, and the goose beside her is a blue gray.
(“A variety of small circles, fitting one inside the other, like jewelry. Like some earrings.” The picture on the postcard used as object contains many small circles, mainly the flowers as noted above, and the small circular designs, also apparently flowers, on the blouse and cap of Mother Goose. They do not necessarily fit one inside the other however. Mother Goose wears no earrings.
